Re: What does 'last_event really return?

Arpad,

It seems that the missing overloaded definition of S'LAST_ACTIVE that 
returns a real value has been overlooked in the first release of the 
language definition. The issue is still to be analyzed, but it is very 
likely it will be resolved for the next revision ballot.

Best regards,
Alain
